I received a scam email regarding order confirmation for the above this morning - One year subscription for $299.99.  I did not order this and I did not call phone number listed(1-888-601-2806). 

I just wanted to advise you of this email.  I have received a similar SCAM last year.

    I did receive the same email as all of you have.  I did freak out too..   The email was in my spam box dated June 24.  I caught the email today (Sunday Jun 27th)

    !.  I never ordered it

    1.  They (the idiots) didn't have my bank acct number or routing number and the email came from a gmail account.  
    2.  The call back number is a cell phone number.
    3.  and finally I checked my back account for the dollar amount that they mentioned and there no withdrawal.

    a special note was at the bottom.  " you have 12 hours to refund this charge from the date of the transaction without being charged."

    CAN YOU IMAGE THAT?

    I was only smart to catch this because of the SMART FOLKS like you.  Thank you everybody for your post it help old people like myself from falling into a trap .  THANK YOU!!!

    I likewise received a scam email regarding a 1 year subscription to Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection Firewall & Network Protection. The 1 year subscription was $499.00 with a $100.00 discount for a total price of $399.00. There was also instruction to contact Microsoft at 1 (877) 710-4698 and speak with a customer care representative if this was an unauthorized purchase. Imagine that.

    My inclination is to just ignore/delete/block this message, but....they say they've charged my card.  Bogus?  Or do I need to do something proactive?
